BOTANIC gardens in south Wirral are to hold a gala concert with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

The open air performance at Ness Botanic Gardens will be a unique opportunity to listen to the orchestra in new surroundings.

The orchestra will be performing on a main stage but the music will also be amplified into selected areas of the gardens through loudspeakers.

Director Kevin Reid, said: “The combination of music from one of the finest orchestras in the UK and the setting of Ness in full bloom promises to make this a really spectacular evening.”

The capacity for the concert is 2,000 with pre-booked tickets costing £25. Tickets on the night (if still available) will cost £27.50.
